So it would have been the lazy choice to keep it there, but someone at some point made the final and intentional judgment call in the other direction

A word ending with "rith" is virtually unheard of in the English lexicon & sounds alien & awkward. It was a good call

Years later Anglophile Nomura spergs out about it and forces a reversal

But her name was really supposed to be just like "Earth" with no alteration it would have been "Aasu" in JP and (at best) "Aerth" in English
